I like spicy foods. Especially chili pepper-based spicy food. I’m not all that fond of horseradish or mustard heat, just the chili peppers. My family (and (((Wife)))’s family) know that I like spicy food. Which can create a minor problem. Sometimes I receive a gift consisting of a jar of dried chilis. Some of these I love — crumbled cascabel, mulatto, or jalapeno I can and do use. Chipotle peppers, dried and smoked jalapeno, are pretty good, but their flavour is so strong, so overpowering, that I find them hard to use. Which means that I have a couple of jars of minced chipotle sitting in my cupboards.
